To Our Health

I have a coworker who is a health food nut and she likes to inform me of the foods that are really good for you and why.  I have been
walking with her to get ready for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer coming up next month.

She says in another life she would have majored in Food Science.  I believe her and she would have been awesome.

Anyway she turned me on to Kashi cereal with tons of fiber.  Cinnamon apparently regulates the sugar in your blood.  Who knew?  I sure didn't.  And it does lots of other things too.

And she talks about flaxseed all the time, so I looked it up.

She is right.  Flaxseed is really good for you and you can add it to lots of things.  So, I am making a mental note and going to add
cinnamon and flaxseed to anything I can. Thanks Shannon for the tips, keep them coming.

This mouth (and all four of our bodies) will thank you!  Add these to the bucket list soon so we don't have to worry about kicking
it as early.

Marshmallows

About a month ago now, I spent a wonderful afternoon with some old college friends.  While out and about in Sacramento, we stopped into Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates and had the most wonderful hot chocolate.  Oh my, this stuff is like pure liquid yumminess.  It was awesome! And, it was topped with a homemade marshmallow.  Which got me thinking...why shouldn't I try this? I do LOVE marshmallows.

So, I decided I would add it to my list. I needed to make homemade marshmallows.  So, yummy and actually they don't look that difficult.  Of course Martha Stewart has a recipe.

Easter is here and I thought it was the perfect weekend to have marshmallows on the menu.

Well, I tried them, yes, I tried, but I will not show any photos.  They definitely tasted like marshmallows, but they looked like cottage cheese.  Hmm I did something wrong, just not sure what.  So, on my bucket list, still, homemade marshmallows!

Happy Easter everyone!!!  And to my dear friend Jayme who I have known my whole life, Hoppy Birthday!!
